My "Redneck Repair" to the hard disk. Simple enough, when there's nothing to secure the drive in... improvise! In the great war that us 68k Macintosh Liberation Armymen (and women) are fighting, sometimes we just need to make do on the battlefield. Hence i've strapped the drive in (40MB Quantum ProDrive LPS, of course) and made my own ribbon out of 2 SCSI connectors and 2 IDE ribbons. Works like a dream.
As you can see, all is well.
Running System 6.0.8 quite happily. Fond memories of my Macintosh Classic (which for those that don't know, died of capacitor failure resulting in logic board corrosion the exact day I first joined this forum) are recreated in this old Macintosh SE, which uses the same hard disk, same software as the Classic before it.
The 512Ke will eventually be restored, hopefully. Depends on what I find once I get the case open, hopefully it's minimal damage and just failed capacitors on the analog board. Considering I managed to get a Sad Mac out of it earlier, I would say there's hope yet.
